There's an awful lot of Rust infrastructure that has been posted in the past, including complete drivers; it's just not being pushed upstream yet. I've been fairly deliberately looking closely at the code as it heads toward the mainline just because it breaks the problem down into manageable pieces. The whole Rust-for-Linux patch set is a fair amount to absorb all at once.
